Summary
Set during the events of Hob Gadling's trip to the Renaissance Faire in "The Wake".
Hob falls asleep at the Renaissance Faire and dreams of a beach. His dead friend, Dream, is there, as his brother, Destruction. Except Dream, it turns out, is not dead and Hob is not dreaming but is, in fact, really on a beach on the other side of the world.
This is a hell of a thing to have to explain to his (probably soon-to-be-ex) girlfriend.

Summary
Today, Joe painted through the fading afternoon light, putting the final touches on the streetscape with urban tree he was working on. He was fascinated with the interplay of nature and humanity’s creations, the unavoidable growth and decay juxtaposed with the incessant variety of human life. It never came out how he wanted it, but well, that was art, wasn’t it?

Summary
“I am going to ask you for something. You have every right to say ‘no.’ In fact, you probably should, but I need to ask anyway.”
Six months after Hob Gadling said good-bye to his oldest friend, Morpheus, Death comes to him for help with an impossible task. It’s up to Hob to care for the freshly resurrected--and painfully human--Dream, help him restore his memories…and ultimately let him go all over again. For his part, Dream is just trying to figure out who he is, what he's supposed to do, and why the dark is trying to get him. The only thing that makes any sense is Hob and his kindness, and the certainty that that all Dream wants is to stay by Hob's side.

Summary
The Dreaming continues on as it always had. New dreams are born and old wounds heal - if but slowly. This does not mean, however, that all is perfect. Grief has weight that bears itself on those who refuse to forget. Moving forward may need some help from a former King.

Summary
In a different universe, a different realm, another Dream of the Endless meets another Robert Gadling. In a world where magic never left the realm, where dragons roam the lands and where science and magic are married rather than apart, this facet of Dream is not so heavily burdened by his function, and this Hob does not gain immortality as part of a wager.
But some pieces of the story do not change across the universes. Dream is still captured by Roderick Burgess. Hob Gadling will still lose his family, and later his wife and child to tragedy. But they will always meet, as they were meant to, and in this universe, they also get the chance to fall in love.

Summary
Weeks after Dream left a meeting with Hob Gadling, smelling of death, he re-appears at Hob's door: human, sunk in a dissociative fugue, and unable to speak. What follows is despair, and then the hope for new beginnings.
Happy New Year?

Summary
They stood in front of a portrait of a man with tan-brown skin, a wide smile, and dark, curly hair that was like Daniel’s. So much of his visage was like Daniel’s. The chin. The brown eyes.
“Who…” Daniel started.
Lyta cleared her throat. Her smile had dimmed. “Hector, my husband,” she explained. “Your… father.”
Daniel blinked. In Morpheus’ memories, there was a father. Time, he was called. He was cruel, and cold, and very, very distant–in many ways, he was like Morpheus. In Daniel Hall’s memories, no matter how far he searched, there was no one he called father. He had Mama and he had Auntie with dark skin and colorful hair and a nice smile, but there was no father.
“I’m sorry,” he said, eventually. “I don’t… remember.”
Daniel meets his father.

Summary
“You know, I loved…” Hob stops, his head still lowered and his voice so low that if Daniel did not have a heightened sense of...well everything, he would not have heard him. “I did … I … never mind.” No, this was not a confession for his ears. This was something Hob would take with him till the end. Buried deep within him, only to be spoken softly in his dreams.
Daniel Hall comes to meet Hob Gadling at The New Inn after Morpheus is gone...

Summary
After Morpheus's funeral, Desire had a mixed feeling about their brother's death. They attempted to kill him many times since they knew his deepest desire was to be in the sunless land. But deep down, Desire was confused. They hated him, and also felt sorry for him, for what he had been through. Now, he has gone.
Long ago, since Dream had rejected Desire's love, they had created a figure, Hallucination, who looked exactly like him. Then they abandoned their own creation because they knew it wasn't Dream. Hallucination had been waiting for billions of years to get revenge on Desire, and he finally had a chance.Series
